What is an arrangement of minerals in flat wavy or parellel bands?
foliation
What is an arrangement of minerals in flat or wavy parallel bands?
Foliation.. of course!
Why do bands of minerals develop in most metamorphic rocks?
It's because of foliation. Foliation is defined as the arrangement of a set of minerals in parallel, sheet-like layers that lie perpendicular to the flattened plane of a rock.
What is the definition of slaty foliation?
Slaty foliation- Parallel foliation of fine-grained platy minerals in a direction perpendicular to the direction of maximum stress (-Anonymous)
What is the parallel alignment of minerals that have been stressed?
The answer is Foliation.

What is salty foliation?
Slaty foliation, is a type of parallel foliation consisting of fine-grained platy minerals. The direction of foliation is usually perpendicular to the direction of maximum stress.

The answer is Foliation.
What is saltiness?
Slaty foliation, is a type of parallel foliation consisting of fine-grained platy minerals. The direction of foliation is usually perpendicular to the direction of maximum stress.
How is the orientation of foliation related to stress?
The foliation in metamorphic minerals is always perpendicular to the direction of pressure. E.g. Vertical pressure is applied, the foliation will be horizontal, and vice-versa, the pressure is horizontal you get vertical foliation. From yahoo answers
